Using ASP.NET MVC 4, ApiControllers and SQL Server 2012(galratner.com)

submitted by galratner(334) 4 days, 21 hours ago

ASP.NET MVC continues to innovate and in its current version (4) it offers support for Web APIs. Today we are going to examine a real life scenario of using Web APIs along with MVC 4 as we are utilizing the Google Earth plug-in to mark a defined area and SQL Server 2012 geography type to help us persist and calculate GIS data.

C#/.NET Little Wonders: Select() and Where() with Indexes(www.blackrabbitcoder.net)

submitted by BlackRabbitCoder(661) 9 days, 16 hours ago

We’ve talked about the Select() and Where() LINQ extension methods before. The Select() method lets you project from the source type to a new type, and the Where() method lets you filter the list of items to the ones you are interested in. Most people know of these methods in their simplest form, where they simply take a projection and predicate respectively that operates on just an element. However, there are overloads for both of these methods that take a delegate that operates on both the element and the index of the element. read more...

Creating a Centralized NuGet Packages Folder(www.chrispoulter.com)

submitted by chrispoulter(105) 15 days, 2 hours ago

I would imagine most people by now will have discovered and use the NuGet Visual Studio extension (http://www.nuget.org/). It is a great way of adding and maintaining 3rd party code libraries in your projects. One problem I find though is that every time I create a new project or solution I end up installing the same old NuGet packages. By default NuGet downloads the source code for these packages into a new "packages" folder in your project/solution root directory.
